I think what you've got so far, the little bit by his foot, is very
good and you should continue it throughout, maybe using less bright
colors as you get further away from the lightsource. Excellent so far! I like the hair the most. I'm envious of your skills. :) |

oo i cant wait till you shade that dragon thing, i love dragons, yet
they are pretty hard to get right :D. the tree is coming along nicely, however the grass seems a bit repetitive. |

i think the grass should be quite a bit longer, or is he standing on a freshly mown grass? because it looks as if he is standing on e cliss in the middle of nowhere allso the tree and branches could squiggle a lot more, it all seems a bit mechanical right now, too stiff ------------- ▄▄█ ▄▄█ ▄█▄ ▄█▄ |

Feel free to do an edit of the grass (the whole thing) and you'll realise why i don't want longer grass :P.
I know what you mean about the tree thing, i'm just following the lines so i can do it quick. might make an edit when i get further along. Will post another update after I do some christmas gifts for people (11 + 1 for secret santa  ).

wow I love huge pixel works! I hope you finish it it's such a huge
task, you better finish it! Haha if you do maybe it will inspire me to
finish mine. The only thing I think you should change is his face should be looking up towards the dragon. Now it looks as if he is looking straight ahead to me. Move the eyes up and add some pixels to his chin... i think... anyway i really like this keep it up cant wait to see more progress |

I think the ocean should blend better with the sky. But other than that, I think it's good! :)

The lighting on the dragon contradicts everything. The blue lighting
coming from the side, the fact that there are fairly strong highlights
on its body at all doesn't seem right. If something is that close to
overlapping a lightsource as strong as the sun, it usually gets very
dark on the shadow side and light that peaks through the edges makes a
bit of a halo effect in places. Also, I imagine the wings skin to be a bit more transparent, like boat sails, not transparent enough to see any clear image through, but enough to see strong light through. In other words, I think the skin of the wings is too dark, or at least doesn't have enough light spots or even somewhat contrasting mid tones, so they also look flat in addition to looking too dark. The outer edge of the dragon's shape also looks very jagged and blocky, you may want to smooth it out some. ------------- http://punaji.com/">

I agree with what Blick said. I'm impressed by the scale of this work. I like the texturing on the sky and water and trees. Although I think the darkest tone trees in the bottom right hand corner need to be darker. Also consider the sun's affect on these trees. I don't likt the character design of the man. His hair looks very messily shaded and the fringe that extends from his head is inconsistently coloured. His right arm also looks somewhat deformed and lopsided. It's too short. Arms reach to just above where the knee starts. It also looks quite detatched from the rest of the body. You've got the beginnings of a very atmospheric piece, but theres still a lot of work to be done. |
